Shortly after the announcement, an emergency services call was made from West's trainer Harely Pasternak's home and when help arrived it was decided it was a 'medical emergency'. He was taken to 'for his own safety' according to NBC.

He's having a nervous breakdown. He's surrounded by all these crazy people, but there's nobody he listens to or who can rein him in. He's spiraling further and further out of control... he is becoming more and more unpredictable.

At 13:20 Pacific Time, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to an unspecified medical aid request. An adult male described as medically stable was taken to an area hospital for further assessment.

He was taken to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre where he was treated for exhaustion.
